Houston, we have a problem

Hello everybody! It's been another week here in sunny EP/ST/SP. Elder Jones and I are still hard at work. The Antunezs got to go through the temple for the first time this last Wednesday to do baptisms. They loved it! The 5th ward is such an amazing ward. All we have to do is say "Frank and Grace need to go to the temple ASAP" and it gets done!

We had a cool experience on Saturday night. We went to our 8 o'clock appointment and they weren't there. We had visited everyone else earlier in the day, and Elder Jones and I were just kinda wondering... "Well, what do we do now?" Just then a young man, Eddy, walked past and we contacted him. He said "I really have to go, but where's your church, I'll go tomorrow." Yeah...right kid (Even missionaries get cynical sometimes) But we gave him the information just to humor him. Well who comes walking in the doors the next morning at 11:20 but Eddy! Double bonus, he works at Men's Wearhouse so if we baptize him we could probably get some sweet discounts on ties (I know I shouldn't be thinking about these kinds of things but I can't help it).

Last monday we went on exchanges with the assistants and had an amazing day, we found seven new investigators in half a day.

Yesterday at church I got about 10 comments "Elder Wilson, you're still here? Haven't you been here for a really long time?" Which isn't cool because then I always get the related question "How long have you been on your mission?" and then the "Oh wow! That's a long time. What are you planning on doing when you get back? Are you going to college? Do you have a girlfriend?" etc. etc.

Our investigator Carlos, is having a tough time working up the faith to ask for Sundays off from work. What makes it worse is he says he hates being pressured, and completely closes off any time you try to apply even a little pressure. So if anyone has any suggestions, please do tell.

Well that's about it for this week's edition. I love you all very much!

Love,

Elder Ben Wilson
